Help me with my homework! (No real effort required)

I guess I can do either, but I don't really know what conditions will cause me to lean toward one or the other.

Favorite Genres:

^Note on the above, I can't guarantee I'm playing exactly equal numbers of each gender, but I'm generally willing to play either one.

Fantasy is my favorite; most of the rest are generally fine. (I don't consider &quot;yaoi&quot; or &quot;furry&quot; to be genres, by the way.)

Genre You DON'T Like:

I'm not likely to find good ideas in an overly realistic RP. I might be surprised, though, who knows?

Help me with my homework (We have a match!)

So, for a certain class I need 25 people to give me their birthdays, not the year, just the month and day of said month.

I know my own birthday, so I just need 24 replies from different people telling me theirs, and I can complete my assignment and maybe get an A from the results. It takes only a few seconds to do and you'll be helping a fellow Iwakuan out, so do it please?

I am an aggressive. I love adding to the flavor of a story and bringing in NPCs (I sometimes fall in love with NPCs and make them full characters). There are times when I want to be lazy though so I don't mind playing in a game someone else is directing.

Favorite Genres:

Fantasy, be it full blown other world, modern Earth or spacey. I don't mind other genres. I love action in general.

Genre You DON'T Like:

Horror and technical sci-fi.

Why? No, I'm curious, what does knowing a small sample of people's birthdays have to do with anything?

February 22nd. My mom and siblings were took sick to celebrate and I was recovering from the flu, so I stayed at my current home (boyfriend's family house) where I got Zombieland and candles for presents. We had ice cream cake and my fave dinner: Chicken Parmesan, baked asparagus and noodles.

Awesome, now I can explain.
I was supposed to find out whether there was a match (at least one pair of people with the same Month/day birthday) within a random sample 25 people, and since there are...that should be all I need. I couldn't explain it beforehand because this way a lie is just as useful as the truth.

And yes, it's for a probability and statistics class, I think it's called the birthday problem. The math part is to find out how many people there need to be for there to be about a 50% chance of at least one pair of matching birthdays.

I am in the middle between passive and aggressive. But I prefer to plan things out with my fellow RPers so I don't mess them up. Although I do keep plot twists under wraps. I believe planning things out helps make for better posts so I do it often.

Favorite Genres:

Fantasy, sci-fi, post apocalyptic, parody.

Genre You DON'T Like:

No SMUT EVER. Not big on modern RPs, not a fan of Mass RPs due to past experiences. I may make exceptions though if an RP is particularly interesting. I will NEVER get involved with anything like yaoi or furry FYI, those I do not make exceptions with. Also not too keen on perverse RPs.

Wouldn't you need a much larger pool to work with for that to get p = 0.5 (50%)? Or are you doing an extrapolation problem?
